Yep understand the context around Condon. Regardless, nice to get in some potentially high level talent from alternate pathways. Not short on ambition either it would seem, a good trait to have.Some context is needed here. Condon didn’t play footy in his draft year (2022) and his projection was always “early first round” in his bottom age year which usually means around top 10, but we should all know by now that a projection that far out doesn’t necessarily mean a whole lot. Harry Lemmey and Isaac Keeler were both projected top 5 12 months out and both were lucky to get drafted in the end and Keeler has been delisted now I think?
I’m excited at the prospect of Condon, because 7ft tall players don’t grow on trees and if he’s better than Cox he’ll be a keeper, but don’t get sucked in by Morris’ hyperbole.
